If only it weren't such a disturbingly retro and sadistically sensationalized take on the subject. If only it were any good at all.

Like some of King's other tales, it loses its way, devolving into a rape revenge fantasy whose potency is diluted by silly gimmicks like a talking GPS system with a mind of its own.

Rated: 2/4

Solid star turn, eerie production values, even a killer ending. Nice symmetry, Steve.

You've gotta really be willing to throw logic out the window to enjoy "Big Driver," a revenge-thriller based on the Stephen King novella. But, as TV movies go, it isn't that bad and certainly the cast is excellent.

Rated: C+

An often toothless and ridiculous rape revenge thriller...

It's a powerful film - not because its story of a vengeful female will shine a light on social injustices, but simply because it grips viewers and doesn't let go until the credits are rolling. Maria Bello is a pain-stricken wonder.

Rated: 3.5/5

This movie stinks . . . realistically, unrealistic. Stephen King must have a very demonic sick mind.

For a movie that features a GPS voice as a character, this one sure takes a lot of wrong turns. Plot holes abound: Why did the rape victim not call the cops or see a doctor? (Her justification is quickly skimmed over, and it's senseless). Who fixed the tire and put the car in the bar parking lot? Why does nobody hear the gun shots when she shoots the bad guys (three times!)? The Google search for the rapist is just too quick, convenient, and simplistic. And after the revenge, the denouement is laughable (and not in a funny way). Secondly, haven't we had enough decades of rape victim revenge movies? This one is barely a couple of notches about the despicable 1970's _I Spit on Your Grave_. Thirdly, I have seen movies abut rape that didn't glorify the act itself by showing it in salacious detail. Not the case here; it's right in your face. It's counter-productive to any kind of feminist treatise and an insult to women's dignity. I remember trying to read this Stephen King short story and giving up on it. Just too dark, mean, and sadistic. The guy can really write, but he goes off the rails frequently. In this case, an opportunistic producer and screenwriter saw the chance to adapt the story to film, thus adding to the trash pile of tasteless revenge flicks. Offensive and pointless.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
